Via a press release (h/t Eater) chef Aarón Sanchez will host a six-episode series called Taco Trip, which isn’t about going on a hallucinogenic high after eating a bad taco.

Rather, it’s a show dedicated to that wonderful big brother of the taquito and close cousin to the burrito. And it all starts on Tuesday, Dec. 16th at 9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT on the Cooking Channel.

According to the release, “Aarón explores one city's local taco scene, seeking out the chefs, families and locals who help define each city's culinary landscape with dishes from classic carnitas to unexpected poutine-style nachos.”

The man, as many know, understands a good taco, fancy or otherwise. Here he is breaking down a peculiar taco masquerading as a taquito on Food Network’s The Best Thing I Ever Ate:

While only six episodes, the show will cross a vast expanse of this country’s culinary offerings, including stops at Chicago, New Orleans, Portland, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Nashville. We will chalk Los Angeles being left off the list to apparent indigestion over an actual egregious error.

The release promises the first episode will highlight some chicharrón and carnitas fare in Chicago, so prepare the antacids accordingly.
